In the business world often said that playing sports helps to free the mind, lower stress levels and keep you in a much more optimistic and positive state. I’ll go a little further, I think the world of sports is closely connected with the other facets of your life, and sports culture applies and 100% recommended going far in your career:

– Many situations and difficulties that you can find as an athlete, you’ll have the same (but in another scenario) in your work environment.

– Sporting values are a guide of life we all need in our daily lives.

Key concepts of culture sport applicable to business

If we expand a little vision in this direction we find the following comment was:

1- Culture team: if you played some small group sport, your coach at some point you have taught your partner you need to win a game. In a company, the same need from your team to achieve the objectives. If you think about it all by yourself or you know take care of the people who work with you sooner or later regret.

2- “Vision game”: a midfielder soccer, or “base” basketball, good, are characterized by a style of “distributive” game, they are responsible for making others play and link well with the team. In your business, have you thought about who plays that role? The person who has a global vision to know what the right “play”? If no one will have to sign that profile at some point.

3- “The wall of endurance athletes”: this is a concept of athletes who engage in marathons, triathlons … They say that when it comes to kilometer 30 marathons (I’m no expert), there is a point of crisis and extreme fatigue. The experts say that at that point the head plays a key role. If that happens, you get a sure goal. How many companies spent that achieving success wall, and how many fell by the way not exceed the wall? There are times in the course of a project that will test your level of commitment. Will you be able to pass?

4- Talent vs. perseverance: in any professional team success is almost always one of its members is less talented than the rest, but it is the first that comes to training and the last leaves. His ability to sacrifice and personal effort make it go further than someone with more talent. In companies so does the culture +1 applying learning something new every day and strives to be productive each day of the year, always just reaching their personal goals.

5- Integration: Many sports have managed to integrate people at risk of social exclusion or join players with very different profiles. A good project or a good business idea can lead to the same result. Together radically different under a common goal, a goal that makes people complement each other.

Seen this, entire do you think the sport and the business world have nothing to do? Sport helps to strive, to extend your limits and above, teaches a range of values 100% useful for your professional life.
